So, this song happened. And I didn’t know it was a thing. But apparently it’s a thing having been appropriated by my two favorite representations of quintessentially American high and low culture.
1. The Jersey Shore

This video made me laugh the first time I saw it. Let’s just say the sun was down, and I was feeling…receptive. Anyway, that high voice in the beginning borders on terrifying, but the earnest, childlike joy that the castmembers are experiencing with a simple isight just warms the heart. Then when they realize they can go in and out of frame it turns more into one of those Hannah Barbera montages where the kids from Scooby Doo are all running in and out of doors in a hallway chased by a Mummy. Only the Mummy is Angelina and Scooby is Pauly D.

2. Awesome film/dance/art

Michael Flatley, you just got served. God I love the choreo in the middle section.

I never thought I would see the day when the shit you did in Tony Hawk 3 looked downright pedestrian. “Oh that’s cool, you hit a sick grind and then did a 1080 christ air into a nose manual? Congrats, you’re about as good at skateboarding as my kid brother, he’s 2.” Peep this and LOSE YOUR MIND.
